Struggling with quilt names has been sorted. I am starting with A and will quilt my way through the alphabet. That's the plan anyway. Therefore this quilt has been named Alice.

A simple design featuring blue and green fabrics, and log cabins alternated with four patch blocks. This quilt top came together rather quickly once I actually found some time to sit at the machine. It seems exam week is almost as stressful for parents as it is for teens!

It's basted and quilting has commenced. More pictures will surely follow.

Um. Unless you're going to be like hurricanes and just start back at 'A' when you’ve finished 'Z', then I think there's a giganormous problem. HAVE YOU NOTICED YOUR RATE OF CONSISTENTLY STUNNING QUILTY OUTPUT???

The colors are wonderful, and I love how you did borders just on the top and bottom. fun!I too have trouble naming quilts. Your new system is brilliant. Kind of like the way we do hurricane names :)Are you planning on writing a pattenr for this?

Ha! I always name my quilts things like: The Tree Quilt, The Pinwheel Quilt, Emily's Quilt and equally boring yet descriptive names. I like the name Alice - it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland who also wore blue.

I do something similar, it takes me about an hour - 90 minutes to bind a quilt generally, so I'll put a movie on whilst I'm sewing. Once the quilt is finished I name it after a character in the movie, either male or female depending on what the quilt says to me.
